Anyone heard of the "Shogun" computer reset techniques?
Procedure:
Following is a procedure, entitled "shogun", for resetting the computers on a M70 engine. However, the posting on Roadfly stated it would work with any BMW including the e34. Supposed to clear out the adapative memory and allow relearning (or similar) for all the various vehicle computers??
Somehow this seems risky. Would it benefit our cars, especially the 525i 4 speed auto without an adaptive transmission?
1. disconnect battery cables, first -, then +
2. turn ignition on position II
3. connect both battery cables ("short") for at least 10 minutes for drain of remaining power out of the system
4. ignition off
5. connect battery cables again to battery, first +, then -
Job done.
